Lyon vs Guingamp Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Lyonnais and En Avant Guingamp both did bad business last weekend without scoring. Does Olympique Lyonnais know how to make the favorite role on Friday night against the close last?
Olympique Lyonnais:
Olympique Lyonnais was working on an excellent series of five victories in a row (including a 2-1 victory at En Avant Guingamp in the Coupe de France), but dropped the previous round for the second time this season with 1-0 against Olympique Nice. Olympique Lyonnais was not able to find the net despite a field victory, something that had not happened in thirteen games in a row. Against En Avant Guingamp, OL managed to find the net six times this season in two games, so scoring should certainly be possible for Bruno Génésio’s team, but then there must be a good defense too.
In seven of the last nineteen games against teams from the Ligue 1, not the zero was held. A total of 27 hits were collected in 24 league matches this season, most of all teams from the top four. In comparison, reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain, which lost to Olympique Lyonnais two weeks ago, only had 13 hits in 22 league matches. Another problem for Génésio is the lack of return for Memphis Depay, who last scored against En Avant Guingamp (two goals and two assists in a 4-2 win) and has been dry for more than a thousand minutes for his team.
And Avant Guingamp:
In his own home, last-minute En Avant Guingamp against Lille, the number two of Ligue 1, had little to say and was eventually lost with 2-0. After more than an hour of play, star player Marcus Thuram seemed to make the equalizer, but by intervention by the VAR, the talented Frenchman stayed on seven league goals this season. Because Amiens and AS Monaco have achieved a result (victory for Amiens and a draw for AS Monaco), the gap of the last team in the safe seventeenth place is now six points and in addition, two major competitors in the relegation battle, Caen and Dijon, still a match credit.
En Avant’s defense can be compared more and more with a cheese, because in all ten matches this calendar year the zero could not be kept. In total, 22 opponents were cashed in these matches, just as much as PhD student Stade Reims in all league games this season. In away games the numbers are even more dramatic this season with a goal difference of -21 (6-27) over eleven away games, although four of these goals were made in the last four away games. Offensively, Marcus Thuram simply can not do enough work on his own to compensate for the cheese in the back, so that degradation comes closer to the number twelve of last season.
